I found this Bitcoin on a beach in Florida. Where can I get it appraised?



Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.

If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.

God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.

Wow, some pricey hardware. What would you use all of those cards for, if not mining bitcoins?

Never heard of Silk Road until I looked it up just now. Sounds like government shut them down and took over the operation. roflmao

Once we broke even i took away one and Built a pretty powerful pc around it. But other than that, not much... once we can no longer sell hashing power they probably wont be worth anything... If they are i can sell them for cheap but they might burn out before that. My buddy was a systems architect over at Methodist hospital and now works for VMWare, he is the guy who knows the most about it in our group and maintains the hardware.
